Shannon’s Rainbow Sneak Preview - 3/21/09

Hollywood came to Pittsburgh for an evening with the premiere of Shannon’s Rainbow, the story of a young girl’s love of a horse, at the Hilton Garden Inn at Southpointe. The film, written and produced by John Mowod and KDKA’s Larry Richert, was shot almost entirely at The Meadows in Meadowlands with an all-star cast, including Darryl Hannah and Louis Gossett, Jr. More than 300 people attended the premiere, including the film’s director Frank E. Johnson and stars Stephen Colletti, Jason Gedrick, and Tom Atkins. The evening also benefited the Marcus L. Ruscitto Charitable Foundation with silent and Chinese auctions. Before the showing, guests enjoyed dinner and an award presentation from the foundation to Richert and Mowod. Following the showing, a dessert reception brought the evening to a close.
